The RADEON X1800 XT 512MB has been considered as the world’s top-performing graphics card to date after the launch. But what about the GeForce 7800 GTX with boosted clock-speeds? Witness, how the GeForce 7800 GTX with 486MHz engine speed and 1.35GHz memory manages to leave behind the RADEON X1800 XT in loads of benchmarks as we share our experience about ASUS Extreme N7800 GTX TOP graphics card.

F.E.A.R. Multiplayer Demo

The Extreme N7800GTX TOP enjoys a 5-8% advantage over the reference card in the F.E.A.R. demo, but this doesn’t help it to overtake the RADEON X1800 XT with its highly efficient memory subsystem in the “eye candy” mode. On the other hand, the ASUS card’s frame rate of 81fps in the “pure speed” mode should be considered an excellent result for this graphically heavy game.

Pariah

There’s a profusion of relatively simple shaders in the fantastic shooter Pariah and we already know that executing such shaders (without branching and not using Shader Model 3.0) is not a strong aspect of the new family of RADEONs. The ASUS Extreme N7800GTX TOP and the GeForce 7800 GTX feel some competition in 1024x768, but then confidently take their respective first and second places in higher resolutions. The higher frequencies of the Extreme N7800GTX TOP ensure an 8-9% advantage over the reference GeForce 7800 GTX in 1600x1200 resolution.
